Lesser known races 2025 edition

[Samamba]

Nice work from Artz for Van Poppel I guess

Looks like he isn't a fan of the merger lol

 

[RedheadDane]

Nice win by Van Poppel.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Brilliant win by van Poppel. Nice attack by Segaert too, but not quite enough.

 

[Netserk]

A great shame that Laporte rode for Kooij today.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

at CdN: Looks like V$ne wasn't offered enoygh cash.....

[Eddy Evenepoel]

4	CAVAGNA Rémi		1.14,20	40.55,30	50.1

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Wærenskjold gonna be 5th and Bevort 9th. Knight 7th for Cofidis.

 

[Netserk]

Live from Italy. Uno-X should ride solely to deny Cofidis any result.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The battle to be WT team is heating up.

Stop spreading the fake news. Cofidis are leaving today.
They're no longer gonna be a part of it; World Tour, World Tour.

Dominant win by Tarling. He should target the hour record while his shape is still decent.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

1	TARLING Joshua		51.12,22	51.12,22	52.6
2	VINE Jay		0.30,33	51.42,55	52.1
3	CAVAGNA Rémi		1.37,46	52.49,68	51
4	WÆRENSKJOLD Søren		1.42,98	52.55,20	50.9

Vine pretty stromg the last part. Kung missing.

 

[RedheadDane]

Stop spreading the fake news. Cofidis are leaving today.

Then what has the fight between Cofidis and Uno-X the last few weeks been about?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Then what has the fight between Cofidis and Uno-X the last few weeks been about?

It was quite heated at one point, but it was lukewarm at best before today's races.

 

[Cycling111]

Tarling needed it, after the European Championship I didn't expect he would be dominant today.

 

[RedheadDane]

Okay, what's the graphics people got against Denmark?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

1	TARLING Joshua		51.12,2	51.12,22	52.6

Good to see Tarling coming out of the year on a high note. Solid podium.

Repeating Rob's tube link to Veneto in case it drowned.

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Only 11 riders left in front. 2 Uno-X against Teuns. 42 km to go, 2 1/2 minute to peloton.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Been a difficult road back for Tarling but riding back into condition, season ending too soon for him now.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Teuns looking much stronger than the two Uno-boys, so they should probably not ride in the break anymore.

 

[Netserk]

Uno-X leads by 208(?) points over Cofidis atm. 200 points for the winner today.

 

[Samamba]

Teuns looking much stronger than the two Uno-boys, so they should probably not ride in the break anymore.

Why, gap is more than 200 points. Teuns possibly winning this doesn't matter anymore

If people are coming from behind as well and Benjamin Thomas makes it to top 5 it might be different…

Edit: and just like that we see the group attacking from peloton. No cofidis there.
